Taya & Mike’s experience
About Taya & Mike
I always had Springers growing up. I fell in love with the breed and knew I would always need to have one in my life. Fast forward and we now have 5 Springers and 4 dachshunds, and a whole hobby farm. Mike is my third hand when needed. I'm so thankful he shares an equal passion for animals. If you're ever looking for him you can find him snuggling a dog or two and sometimes three, on the couch, bed, floor, or even in a kennel! We truly love our dogs and what we do.
What makes Taya & Mike’s program special
Our program is special because of our dogs. We hold our dogs to a high standard and make sure they pass on the best traits and health. We find so much fulfillment in raising and preparing them for their loving, forever homes. We truly love our puppies and know you will too! Priding ourselves on helping all of our new families find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle.

More about Taya & Mike
Why Taya & Mike started breeding
It all began with an English Springer Spaniel named Mally. A childhood best friend that had an ever-lasting impact on my life after my father's passing. When Mally passed a few years after my father, life wasn't whole anymore. You never know how much a dog can impact your life till they are gone. Our dogs have brought us so much joy and happiness that we wanted to give back to them by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a great life with wonderful families.
Taya & Mike has been a member of Good Dog for about 4 years
